Senedj (also known as Sened and Sethenes) is the name of an early Egyptian king (pharaoh), who may have ruled during the 2nd dynasty. His historical standing remains uncertain. His name is included in the kinglists of the ramesside era, although it is written in different ways: While the kinglist of Abydos imitates the archaic form, the Royal Canon of Turin and the kinglist of Sakkara form the name with the hieroglyphic sign of a plucked goose.
It is also unknown as how long Senedj ruled over Egypt. The Royal Canon of Turin credits him with 70 years of rulership, the ancient Greek historian Manetho states that Séthenes (as he calls Senedj) ruled for 41 years.
The possibly only known contemporary inscription from Senedj's reign was found in 1909 by Egyptologist Uvo Hölscher, who assisted the excavations at the Khephren- and Menkaura temple at Giza. Hölscher found a small, thin-walled and polished diorite shard, which once belonged to a flat bowl. At the left brakeline an incised inscription gives the reading: "The king of Upper- and Lower Egypt, Senedj". The inscription goes from the right to the left and exceeds the breakline, but the king's name remains reconstructable. The precious artifact was published in 1912. It was also examined by George Andrew Reisner, who mentioned it shortly in his book Mycerinus, the Temples of the Third Pyramid at Giza.
My smiles are pretend
And no matter what you do
I'll never be the one for you
You can shower me with gifts
But I'll never want your lips
I don't love you
I don't really want to hurt you
But I tried so hard to warn you
But you smiled and walked away
You may think that maybe time
Can make me want you
Please stop trying
Understand you're not the man
Every time I close my eyes I see him
Remembering how it feels
Keeps getting stronger, can't wait no longer
I wanna live my life with the one I love
And I feel alive when I think about him
Touching me and kissing me all night long
Please don't let this go on
Do the right thing, tell them why
'cause it ain't right to live a lie
We followed tradition
To make them happy, but loves a decision
You can.t take lightly
Open your eyes
I don't really want to hurt you
But I tried so hard to warn you
But you smiled and walked away
You may think that maybe time
Can make me want you
Please stop trying
Understand you're not the man
True love lets your heart decide
Who and where it wants to be
And everytime I hear his name
I fall in love with him again
'cause he's the only man that's made for me
Everytime I close my eyes I see him
Remembering how it feels
Keeps getting stronger, can't wait no longer
I wanna live my life with the one I love
And I feel alive when I think about him
